Tests using paired pens of barrows were conducted during a 13 month
period to determine the influence of protein level of the ration on
production traits of market barrows. One member of each pair of six to
ten full- and half-sib pairs was randomly allotted to each pen group;
thus,...
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feeding value
and potential toxicity of single cell protein (SCP) when fed to
ruminants.
Three in vivo digestibility trials with lambs, one feedlot trial
with steers and one long term feeding trial of high levels of SCP with
sheep were conducted...
A study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary protein on
performance of commercial New Zealand White rabbits.
In Part I of this study, three levels of crude protein (17.5, 19
and 20.5%) were fed to lactating does and their offspring during a 12
month period. Total rabbits born...
This dissertation has focused on lignin byproducts that result from the alkali processing of wheat straw. The first study evaluated the application of “standard” lignin quantification methods for summative analyses of alkali-based processes. Mass closure during NaOH processing at 25, 50, and 75°C of wheat straw was evaluated using the...
The effect of pyridoxine (PN) supplementation on the activities
of erythrocyte alanine aminotransferase (EAlaAT) and aspartate aminotransferase
(EAspAT) was observed in five men, aged 22 to 25 years.
The subjects received a constant diet containing 1.34 mg of vitamin
B-6 Monday through Friday of each week during this five-week study....
The present study was designed to investigate the
effects of exercise on vitamin B-6 metabolism. Four groups
of subjects (intermittent, college, untrained, and high school)
consisting of nineteen male and two female individuals, participated
in the study. The subjects exercised either on a
bicycle ergometer, by running three 1500 meter...
The effect of vitamin B-6 (B-6) status on plasma fatty acids (FA) levels and lipid
metabolism was investigated in this metabolic study. Eight female subjects were fed for 28
days. For the first 7 days, they were fed a constant diet containing 2.10 mg of B-6. For the
rest of...
The study was designed to indirectly understand muscle
glycogen utilization during prolonged exercise when either
glucose, fructose, or water is ingested. Eight trained
adult males exercised on a cycle ergometer at 58±7% of V02
max for 2 h on 2-4 occasions. At 0 minutes of exercise and
at 30-minute intervals...
